For those of us worrying about online privacy, Oakland-based Ask.com gives people the power to prevent their search from being deposited in data banks…
“Search engine Ask has launched a feature that it hopes will prove a selling point for consumers concerned about their online privacy…”
San Francisco -- Hoping to add to its paltry market share in the Google-dominated world of Internet search, Web search site Ask.com is launching a feature that allows users to delete data on their search queries in an effort to bolster personal privacy while surfing the Internet.
A link titled “AskEraser” will be featured on the site’s home page and all search results pages, with a clear choice to signal whether the feature should be “On” or “Off” during a user’s search requests.
